Is it possible to replace all the <br> tags with <p></p> with the PHP tools?

try this

 function replace_br($data) { $data = preg_replace('#(?:<br\s*/?>\s*?){1,}#', '</p><p>', $data); return "<p>$data</p>"; }

Option number 2 (by Visman)

 function replace_br($data) { $data = preg_replace('#(?:<br\s*/?>\s*?)+#', '</p><p>', $data); return "<p>$data</p>"; }
